Both of Van Alstyne's sales-tax-funded development corporations will look different when they meet at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5, at City Hall, 152 N. Main Drive.
The Economic Development Corporation board is welcoming four new members: Kerri Cook, Tyler Hall, Amanda Hofer and Ryan Shafer. Its first order of business is choosing a president to run the meeting, because neither of the board's top two officers is still on the board, according to the staff report. Members will then fill the vice president, treasurer and secretary posts.
Under the bylaws, officers serve one-year terms.
The Community Development Corporation board is seating three new members, Karen Favors, John Snook and Nicole Walls, and holding its yearly officer elections.
Restaurant expansion deadline
The CDC will consider giving the owner of Burnt, the restaurant at 224 E. Jefferson St., more time under an incentive agreement the board approved June 11. The agreement calls for at least $232,000 in improvements, including a permanent building where a carport now stands, a staircase up to the second floor, two new restrooms, new electrical and plumbing work and finishing the upstairs space.
It also requires the restaurant to stay open for at least five years and add jobs.
